Product Information

In my garden we have possums, fruit bats and birds, including rainbow lorikeets (small parrots). The possums and parrots did not try to get through the fruit bags, their presence was enough to deter them . My dwarf almond tree and a dwarf loquat tree were always stripped clean by rainbow lorikeets, and using the fruit protection bags saved the whole crop last season. Cheap – Saketos fabric bags cost little and are a reusable product (they have a high weather resistance). You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways:

Ryset Australia has a range of pest deterrent and bird netting products, including these wonderful Fruit Protection Bags, which I was given by a local garden nursery to review. This product is a large 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) large drawstring bag made of commercial insect exclusion netting, which slips over the fruit to be protected. The mesh is fine enough to keep insect pests out too.They come in a bag of ten, and each bag is large enough to protect most fruit and vine crops.Please note we are unable to guarantee specific delivery dates or delivery timeframes, all delivery times are estimates only. To use, just slip the bag over a bunch of fruit or berries (such as grapes), pull the drawstring firmly to close the top off, and tie with a shoelace knot. Ripening, sweet-smelling bunches of grapes attract insects… However, you wouldn’t like to use radical pest control methods? You don’t have to kill insects in traps or use chemical sprays to save your crop. Use a method recommended by experienced vine growers.

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:Our Fruit Protection Bags are made from insect netting, which means they are non-toxic, breathable, and UV-stabilized. With a 20% shade factor, they protect your fruit or veggies from harmful UV rays while allowing air and water to circulate freely.

Working part time in a garden nursery, I get to speak to a lot of gardeners, and one person told me that when the rats chewed holes through the fruit bags, the opportunistic possums forced themselves through the hole, opening it up further to access the fruit inside. I guess nothing is foolproof when you’re dealing with intelligent animals that are capable of learning. In Permaculture, we’re always focussed on energy efficiency and minimising the use of non-renewable resources. As a handy tip, here’s a Permaculture way of using this product! When you have trees that crop at different times throughout the year, you can simply move the bags from tree to tree. As you harvest from one tree, this frees up the bags to cover newly growing fruit on the next tree. This means you don’t need as much of these nifty bags as you might think, a point appreciated by sustainable gardeners out there.As shown in the images, the fruit tree netting bags provide complete coverage and protect your fruit trees from pests and frost.

Ryset’s Fruit Protection Bags are an affordable solution for protecting fruit from pests such as birds and possums. The insect exclusion mesh which the bags are constructed from is quite strong and you definitely can’t tear the material by hand. This solution is very cost effective, so having lots of individual bags is not a concern. The Ryset Fruit Protection Bags come in bags of ten for around five dollars, so they’re only fifty-cents each! I’ve used mine over many seasons repeatedly and they are still in excellent condition, and since they’re out in the elements only during fruiting season, they should last many years.

In summary, Ryset Fruit Protection Bags are a very cost effective and sustainable way to protect fruit from pests such as birds and possums! They’re reusable, easy to deploy, and easy to remove. They also protect fruit from insect pests, making them quite versatile, delivering multiple benefits to gardeners. These great little bags have now earned their place in my range of tools for protecting my produce from pests, and I can wholeheartedly recommend them! The first people to start bagging fruit may have been the Japanese. For centuries, the Japanese have used little bags to protect developing fruit. The first bags they used were silk, specially sewed for the fruit. However, when plastic bags came on the market, many growers found that these worked just as well. If you decide to bag your fruit, this is what you should use.
